Windows 95 chime composer Brian Eno
I cringe hard at this characterisation. Brian Eno is known for many, many things. Amongst other inventing the term Ambient Music and, of course, making such music. But not only. Playing in so many bands and producing so many more. That chime really is the tiniest of all his contributions to musical history.
But yes. Call out all companies and politicians that are complicit. It needs to end yesterday.
I mean it may not be his biggest accomplishment but it may be the most relevant.
Ugh, no. I’ve known Brian Eno and his music and the influence he had on other musicians* for decades before I learnt about this little factoid, just a few years ago.
* (U2, Devo, Talking Heads, Paul Simon, Grace Jones, Sinéad O’Connor, Robert Wyatt, Ultravox, Coldplay…)
No what?
THX1138 director George Lucas
Sonic 3 composer Michael Jackson
Mole Mania producer Shigeru Miyamoto
I read this headline as tongue-in-cheek given he’s better known for the work you mentioned. Gave me a chuckle.
Whatever happened to windows having nice boot up sounds? Win 11 is dull and generic.
Deserved
